Late in games (in pretty much all defending situations) Chara & Seidenberg pair up with one of Boychuk/Bieksa rotating in for whichever's tired.

Style of Play

Emulate the real-life Bruins.

Offensively: Lots of D-to-D on breakouts, with faster forwards coming in to help slow (read: non-Del Zotto/Orlov) defensemen break out. Adding Orlov gives me more opportunity to skate the puck out and limits the opposition's ability to clog the neutral zone and stifle the breakout. Dump the puck hard around and get 2 men deep to help win the puck back. D are allowed to pinch to secure puck possession, center plays 3rd man high to prevent odd-man rushes the other way if possession is lost.

Defensively: Two-man forecheck with one aggressive forechecker and one cutting out the middle of the ice, defensemen pinching up the boards to limit zone entry. When in-zone, center comes deep and helps win board battles, big defensemen clearing the front of the net to allow Holtby clean looks. Opposite of Laviolette/Tortorella "block shots at all costs" approach, which should allow more rebound control and less deflected goals.

Overall: Spread out the ice time pretty evenly among four lines, conserving energy for my top 6/9 for late-game situations where they're needed.
